I think you could just announce that it’s a recon force and which ships would be passing through if it succeeds… maybe put the recon force into the territory for combat and the rest of the fleet could be put on the line between the territories until combat is resolved. If the recon force takes out the blockers in the first round of combat, the ships on the line could then pass through the territory or use their shore bombardment in the territory: but the recon force could not pass through with them and could not bombard with them (they would be out of position, expended munitions, etc.). If the recon force fails to take out the blockers, then the remaining ships may join the combat or they could stay in the previous zone and either way can’t pass through or bombard the shore. The recon force would then have to continue to engage in regular combat or retreat.
Using Pacific/Europe Pieces with original board.

A friend and I have been doing this and we find it very interesting. We also use some of the rules, except the Japanese first strike.
-
How do you incorporate new peices? (destroyers, Artillery etc).
Do you add them to force pool during set up, or do you set up A&A
as it is supposed to be and just make new units able to be purchased? -
What we do is the original setup with the option to buy the pacific/europe pieces later in the game. All the other rules we follow from the pacific/europe books. We do not use the Japanese first attack.

Seems good to me. I use to do the same thing myself. :)

-
sounds the way to go… but how do you do starting placement???
-
The only setup changes made are the IP and both the Uk and Japan replace either of their bshp’s with a dstr.
-
i have played this way but i allow each country to place 2 artillery and 1 destroyer where ever they choose aslong as the territory belongs to them
